The Blue House on Front Downtown Traverse City

This house is older so expect some quirkiness. The location is fabulous. It was within easy walking distance to everything Traverse City has to offer. There isn't an enclosed outdoor area for your pet but the neighbor was really nice to walk in and I felt safe walking at night. Bring measuring spoons and a measuring cup if you plan to do any cooking as they didn't have these items on hand. The property could also use more kitchen hand towels. The bathroom linens were very nice and plentiful. The bedding was great. I would also suggest bringing a couple throw blankets as the property didn't seem to have any. We would definitely rent here again despite it missing a couple things. It was a lovely stay for us and our pup!

Great place to stay! Walking distance to downtown and the beach. House was cute and had an amazing front porch to hang out on. Highly recommend!

Property is conveniently located. House was clean and as described. A few minor things could be better. It has a tiny bathroom sink and there are not any extra blankets or extra kitchen towels. The grill was also nice, but there are not any grilling tools. Beds were very comfortable! I was slightly surprised by the extra pet fee. It’s noted at the bottom of the house description but not listed in the fees or policies. We entered a pet in the reservation and were contacted about adding the pet fee to the reservation. It was my error for missing it but it’s not obvious. The communication was good. Neighborhood nice.

We had a great time at this beautiful, clean and remodeled home right in downtown TC. I would recommend this house to other families as well. Everything was just as described and had a really cool vibe. The outdoor porch furniture was comfortable and fun for people watching. Will be back next summer! The host was very friendly including leaving us a bottle of wine after the long car ride 😊

I rented this house almost one year in advance. Everything from making adjustments to extend our stay to general questions to our host Katy were handled promptly and accurately. Upon arrival we pulled around to the back parking area which was very roomy and convenient for entering the house. The door code was easy and we really appreciated the motion sensor light on the back porch entrance. In addition on the back porch there is a nice sized gas grill for use. The older style house was just beautiful! It was nicely refinished, clean and decorated with a lot of character. All furniture was very comfortable and high quality. The kitchen was clean with cute matching red retro appliances and fully stocked with more than enough dishes, utensils and cookware. We never even unpacked our box of “just in case extras”. The bedding was incredibly comfortable! Everyone loved even the pillows! You just kind of sunk into the comfort of the beds. The bathroom was clean with nice quality towels and plenty of hot water for a house of six. Allowing our small dog was a plus. It was easy to take him out back and although we brought a doggie scoop they had a small trashcan with a scoop provided along with inside dog dishes. There is also a full size washer and dryer in a little side cove corner of the house . Katy definitely thought of all angles to making us comfortable. And it was such a nice touch to find a hand written note with a delicious bottle of wine. We also went on a wine and spirits tour, this was one of our best total events ever! Thank you so much to Katy for taking such good care of us! We will definitely return! The Bakers

Loved the location!! 7 blocks or so from downtown. Didn't realize from the photos that there really isn't a back yard. There is a parking lot in back that has 2 spots reserved for this house. Wasn't a problem though. Sharing one bathroom for the 5 of us was a little tough but doable.

A group of 4 adults (and 1 dog) stayed in the Blue House for 3 nights in mid-September. The house is in a great location to explore downtown Traverse City, especially the many microbreweries and pubs. The house itself is nice and charming - we enjoyed having a glass of wine on the front porch. The only minor issue is the house has only 1 bathroom which is downstairs, with the 3 bedrooms being upstairs. Just be conscious of this when booking. Overall a great weekend in beautiful Traverse City.

This home is perfect for the long or short stay. The beds are super comfortable and each room had it’s own AC unit upstairs so comfort was A+. The two parking spaces in the back were huge since there is no on street parking. If there was on negative, and I say this not so much as a negative but a caution. There is only one bathroom which was not a problem for our family but could be for some. However, this is picking nits and not something that should keep you from renting this amazing home. Wishing 100 yards, great coffee shop, and amazing burgers at Slab Town. If Traverse City is in your future, go for it.

We visited over the Christmas holidays and this was the perfect house for us! (The owner even had a small tree decorated in the living room and a wreath on the door so it felt very homey!) We arrived VERY late at night during a snowstorm, but the next morning we woke up to all the walkways and steps around the property having been cleared. (The parking spaces behind the house were perfect b/c there is no street parking.)The king bed in the master bedroom was super comfortable and my kids had no issues with the beds in the other two rooms. The house was overall very comfortable and cozy. The kitchen was well equipped, but we didn't use the stove in the kitchen b/c we had family nearby. As is noted in the description, there is no bathroom on the second floor, but that wasn't a problem for us. (And the bathroom is very nice with great water pressure.) The stairs to the second floor have narrow treads, but that also wasn't an issue for us. Best of all was that our dog was able to stay with us in the house - we were so thankful for that! The house is in a great location and even though it was winter we could walk to a lot of things. We didn't have any issue with street/traffic noise b/c it was winter. There is no fenced yard with the house, but the neighborhood surrounding the house is great for walking the dog.The communication with the owner/host was great and the check-in/check-out process was super easy. Katy is super nice! Would definitely stay here again!!

The location of this is house is great. It’s about a mile from Great Wolf, close to downtown, and within very close walking distance to a brewery, burger restaurant, coffee shop, liquor/convenience store, CVS, and a speedway. There’s honestly everything you need within walking distance, it was fantastic. The house set up was exactly as described. More than comfortable and the host was extremely quick with all communication. It’s been mentioned in several reviews, but no bathroom on 2nd floor, which wasn’t a problem for us, but the stairs are fairly steep with it being an older house, so I could see them being more difficult for older families or people with any mobility or vision difficulties. 10/10 recommend

We loved staying at the Little Blue House!! The property owner/manager was super easy to work with and did a fantastic job communicating! The house was clean and in a fantastic location. We will definitely be coming back!!!!

Location was great. Slight sewer smell when you come in the main door. Would have loved a broom and dust pan. Had to call on second day for a plunger, supplies to keep the home clean and functioning very limited. Bed was extremely comfortable with wonderful pillows. We would definitely stay here again but would plan on bringing more cleaning supplies.

We really enjoyed our stay at the blue house, and were thankful we were able to bring our dogs. The house was very clean and as pictured, the bed was comfortable, and the location was perfect - very walkable to restaurants and close to 31 to be able to get groceries and pick up a few things we forgot. Katy was very welcoming and responsive. Would definitely stay again!

Very nice, clean and close to pretty much everything, we had a great time

My wife and I visit Traverse frequently and wanted to bring our parents with us for a special trip. The house was a great value at a great location with several handy businesses within walking distance. Beds were very comfortable and the area was pretty quiet, I'm not sure we ever slept so well while traveling. The house is very well kept and we enjoyed all of it.

This house has great decor and is right in town. Communication was awesome!

We had a great stay at the blue house. It is very conveniently located, so you can walk to shops, dining and the lake, or you can take a short drive. It was also a great value compared to many of the other properties in the area. The beds were very comfortable, and the AC kept every room nice and cool for sleeping, but it was a little loud. There is one bathroom on the first floor, and the bedrooms are upstairs. The decor is an interesting mix of different styles, and the chairs and couch in the living room are very comfortable. The front porch is great for watching the world go by, and some of the neighbors said hello as they walked by. This was a great option for us, we spent a lot of time seeing Traverse City and used the house as a place to freshen up, spend a little down time, and sleep. If you are planning to get out and walk to attractions, and will appreciate a really good value, this could be a great option for you too. If having to walk downstairs to the bathroom in the middle of the night is going to be a problem, or if you're looking for a place where a large group can spend most of your time in the house, you might want to spend more and find a bigger space. We would definitely come back!

We enjoyed our stay at the blue house on Front St. The house was decorated for Christmas which was a nice touch and we enjoyed the Christmas tree when sitting in the living room to watch TV or for morning coffee. It was cold and snowy during our visit and we were nice and comfy inside. The king size bed was comfortable and we loved the location, making it easy to walk to dinner downtown or to another spot nearby.

The Blue House was great - it is exactly as advertised and the value was great! Katy was very responsive and easy to work with. The house was very clean, well equipped in the kitchen and conveniently located. It was nice to relax on the front porch after a day full of activities. We would stay there again for sure!

In town for a family get together and The Blue House was a perfect spot for the 5 of us! Communication could not have been better. Everything we needed and would stay again.

Great location, cute place, amazing communication with rental property staff!!

My husband and I chose this home, so that we could bring our new little dog with us. We all loved this place. It was clean, there's plenty of places to walk. A burger joint is across the street, and downtown is just blocks away. What more can you ask. Thanks so much for this beautiful home away from home.

Anazing place! Close to town and the wineries over the weekend were amazing too. Thank you for a great place!

Great location, lovely house, host always very responsive throughout the process - would stay again!

Great location with lots of walkable options for coffee, drinks and food. Off the downtown beat just enough to be an easy walk but avoiding congestion. Would stay again!
